JEFFERSON – In 2026, our nation will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. As part of this historic milestone, community members are invited to honor the Revolutionary War soldiers laid to rest at Old Jefferson Cemetery.
On Saturday, September 6th at 10 a.m. (rain date: Sunday, September 7th at 10 a.m.), volunteers will gather to help clean and document the headstones of Revolutionary heroes, ensuring they are remembered with the dignity they deserve.
The group will meet at Judd Hall, 163 Main Street, Jefferson before heading to the cemetery. Gentle, historically safe cleaning supplies and instructions will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a jug of water and a kneeling pad. The cemetery itself is opposite the bandstand north of Main Street. It is marked by a yellow sign along the street and is a couple hundred-yard walk down a grassy walking path.
